1 Preheat oven to 150°C. Use a sharp knife to score the ribs several times. Combine the
remaining ingredients in a blender and purée until very smooth. Pour onto the ribs in a glass
or ceramic dish, then refrigerate overnight.

remaining marinade. Serve with coleslaw, corn and toasted corn tortillas.
